Abstract

Uncontrolled urban developments threaten the livability of cities by creating numerous economic, and social problems. Urban divisions, which were called Mahalleh (traditional neighborhood) in Iran in the past, have lost their function. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to present a model of development according to the dimensions of the traditional neighborhood and modernized with the needs and desires of the residents of today's cities. Previous studies on Mahaleh and local planning issues were reviewed, and the innovation of the current research is that it focuses on different dimensions of development. Also, the characteristics of Mahaleh in the countries of Iran, Morocco, and Turkey were investigated, and after extracting the variables of traditional neighborhood with method of content analysis and modernizing it, a new model for the development of the contemporary city was presented. This research is descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The method used is the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The components extracted from Mahaleh in the countries of Iran, Turkey and Morocco were proposed in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 56 questions, and the opinion of professionals and urban specialists was asked, and non-probability sampling of the targeted model was used. Also, the proposed model was evaluated by PLS software. And finally, due to the meaningfulness of the relationships between the variables, the proposed model is confirmed simultaneous attention to environmental, physical, economic and social dimentions in planning urban division will advance to local development, and after comparing the results extracted from the current research, environmental and economic variables are more complete than other models presented in previous researches.
